We are specialist Devon medical negligence solicitors with a network of local offices.
It is often said that you can’t find the same range of services or expertise in Devon as you can in bigger cities. But while this might be true for some things, sometimes Devon just happens to be ‘the place’ for exactly what you need.
One such area is medical negligence law. In fact, our team of Devon medical negligence solicitors has just been independently named as the ‘go-to firm’ for clinical negligence cases in 2025 (Legal 500 2025).
With offices across Devon and Somerset, we are perfectly placed to assist with claims against GP practices, hospitals, dentists and private healthcare facilities right across the south west.
Our excellent reputation in this legal sector and our exceptional levels of client care, have resulted in us achieving a score of 4.9/5 from over 1,000 client reviews, making us the best choice for assisting patients from Devon in making a medical negligence claim. However, our expert medical negligence team does not just assist clients in Devon, but all across England and Wales, with our reputation leading to us being chosen to work on national class actions, as well as multi-million pound compensation claims.
Department head Oliver Thorne, has gained a reputation for specialising in childbirth injury cases. He is well known for campaigning for the rights of mothers and babies who have been let down by our maternity services and has been interviewed by various big news outlets regarding the standard of care in maternity services in the UK. When Barnstaple’s own North Devon Hospital was in the spotlight as “serious questions” were raised about maternity care, Oliver Thorne was interviewed by the BBC.
Alongside Oliver are Partner Caroline Webber Brown, Senior Associate Clarissa Ellerington and a host of trainee solicitors, legal executives and support staff who work together seamlessly to support clients in an approachable, honest and efficient manner.
We offer a free case assessment service and work on a No Win, No Fee basis.
